Have any of you wondered why the west, and America in particular have been so pissed about Chinese literally saving the world with vaccines, and been so obsessed with smearing Chinese vaccines that could stop a global pandemic?
Well I think this is a good example of what they were actually planning, and how China easily saw through their ploy and beat them.
Had China behaved like the west, which is what western strategist would have assumed by default, and hogged its own vaccines until it has vaccinated everyone domestically before exporting to other more needy countries, the above headline would no doubt have been that the UK would allow only those fully vaccinated with western vaccines to have quarantine exemptions, closely followed by the US and EU making similar pledges establishing their own little mutually recognised travel bubbles and effectively imposing soft isolation on China.
Because of the success of Chinese efforts to vaccinate the world, that devious plan is stillborn as even within the EU, you have countries using Chinese vaccines, so the EU cannot accept any such travel bubble that will only recognise people vaccinated with western vaccines since that will instantly get vetoed by their member states using Chinese vaccines. The British Indian-made AZ vaccine disqualification only works because of Brexit and the UK having lost its veto on EU decisions.
Without the EU, such a plan is stillborn, as if the US pressed ahead, it will only end up effectively imposing said soft isolation on itself.
